Hey guys, I know this concept of a Hellenistic KotH is one that I haven't really confided or asked about with anyone, so I'm not sure what sort of reception it'll get. If many people think it's too limiting, now with the limited maps as well as factions, then please feel free to say so, and I'll try amend it to keep everyone happy.

If there is too much opposition, I shall close this and start Round 6 anew.

I like the idea. Pontus, Macedonm Egypt and Seleucid will rule this round. I got nothing to say about it. Just one thing, Add me to the list please.

Love the idea...add me to the list please.

Ill hop on.

Next time make it Barbarians only! Argh

Last one was barbarian only.

Looks like reception isn't too bad. Let it continue

Add me to the list as well, por favor.

So what's the elephant/art policy? Just ok? Anyway addz me.

What faction will Selifator start out as?

I've never done one of these things but I'll give it a shot. What are the unit restrictions on Egypt? ("Ptolemaic")

The restrictions on Egypt are the same as on any other faction. Xavier, you do realize that there is nothing Ptolemaic about vanilla Egypt?

I feel there is. Before Alexander got there, Egypt did not have any pikemen in phalanx forms, and in RTW they do have them. True, they are still rather different, but there is an element of Hellenism in them.

Seli, you need to choose your faction

Well, I've taken a look. And I'll go with ubiquitous Macedon to begin with.

Stick me down as well
I haven't played for ages and am useless with phallanx but what the hell

Well, since we have a healthy list of challengers and I've decided my faction, I'll officially begin Round 6 by accepting Njord's challenge. He has 2 days to respond, if not, we'll move on to the next person.
I'll keep it moving asap, to ensure we don't have people waiting weeks for their match.

"Healthy"?! It's probably the biggest KotH list ever

@Seleucid King: I'll add you on, but I hope you won't block up the list when it gets to your turn again

If any of you guys on the waiting list fancy a few practice matches feel free to pm me

Well, I guess I'll join too.

Ok, But i'm taking that as an insult.....
